Layer Details
- Space to sleep apart, together: At 150cm across you get 75cm each for two people sharing, which means neither of you ends up pinned to the edge on a firm surface.
- Less disturbance from a restless partner: The 1,200 pocket springs move independently, so if one of you gets up hours before the other, the movement is far less likely to travel across the bed.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double at 200cm, a genuine relief if one of you is approaching or past six foot.
- Firm support across the full width: The firm tension holds its shape edge to edge, so a dog claiming the middle of the bed doesn't leave either of you perched on a soft spot.
- Room without a super king footprint: You get meaningfully more space than a UK double while still fitting a typical master bedroom; we suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have found a double a little cramped, especially with a firm mattress where you can't sink towards each other. Or one of you is tall and keeps waking with feet at the end of the bed. It also suits couples on different schedules, since the independent springs and the extra width mean an early riser is less likely to wake the other.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is a UK king big enough for a couple on this firm a mattress?
Yes, comfortably for most. The 150cm width gives 75cm each for two people sharing, and because the firm tension stops you rolling towards the middle, that space stays yours. If you both like to starfish, the UK super king, which is 30cm wider than the UK king, is the step up.
Will the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 in a UK king suit a tall sleeper?
At 200cm long, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which is often the difference between feet hanging off the end and not. If one of you is over six foot, that length is arguably the bigger upgrade here than the width.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK king?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with more if you want wardrobes and bedside tables on both sides without squeezing past the bed. New build master bedrooms can feel smaller than the floor plan suggests once furniture is in, so measure the usable floor, not the room.
Does a bigger size reduce partner disturbance on a pocket spring mattress?
It helps on two fronts. The 1,200 pocket springs compress individually, so movement doesn't ripple across the mattress the way it can on a connected coil unit, and the extra width simply puts more distance between you. If one of you gets up early, the other has a better chance of sleeping through it.
Should I choose the UK king or the UK super king in the Orthos Support 8?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, and the two are the same length. Go for the UK super king if you allow at least 3m x 2.9m of room and want maximum space, perhaps with a dog or child regularly joining you. Otherwise the UK king suits most couples.
